Curious - Do you buy 'collections' of threads...
#21
I piece my quilts with gray thread unless it has a black or white background. Then I use black or white. I only buy colors when I need them. My husband did buy me a nice collection of embroidery thread with 80 some colors in it and I love being able to get just the right color out of the collection when I need it. I'm sure I'll use that all up.

It's great for quick hand sewing when you need to match thread.

I do buy the collections of thread, especially the neutrals and muted. I need lots of colors for t-shirt quilts as I quilt each t-shirt with its own color or at least I try. The "crazy" colors I use instead of using up white or the neutrals when piecing quilts

When I run out of one color and have enough $$ to order I order my threads wholesale with other things I need, so I always have thread on hand fopr what ever color I need. That is hand quilting thread and I don't do machine quilting.
